Strengthening and expanding the electric system is a priority for the solar and wind industries and states in order to promote renewable energy development.
DOE’s investment will help further the deployment of advanced software that works with synchrophasor technology to better detect quickly-changing grid conditions and improve day-to-day grid reliability.
A synchrophasor, or phasor measurement unit, is a device which measures the electrical waves on an electricity grid using a common time source for synchronization.
